The Ladies’ Morning Musical Club presents

VICTOR JULIEN-LAFERRIÈRE

French cellist Victor Julien-Laferrière has racked up an impressive roster of prizes in his still-young career: first-prize winner of the Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2017, first-prize winner of the Prague Spring International Competition 2012, prize of the Safran Foundation for Music in 2013, and Soloist of the Year nomination at the 2018 Victoires de la Musique classique on French National TV, among others. From 2005 to 2011, Julien-Laferrière took part in the International Music Academy-Switzerland of Seiji Ozawa. His first sonata recording (Debussy, Franck, Brahms) was released in 2016 on the Mirare label and won high praise from the critical press, including a Diapason d’Or, CHOC from Classica and Editors’ Choice from France Musique. Julien-Laferrière is a member of the Trio Les Esprits, with violinist Mi-sa Yang and pianist Adam Laloum; the Trio recently signed an exclusive contract with Sony Classical.
